The FAA still requires ashtrays in bathrooms interestingly. To avoid those who do smoke there using the trash and causing a fire: Regardless of whether smoking is allowed in any ot…

Very cool. Thanks

What are the black dots around the map when you zoom in? For instance South-East Wales / Bristol, I see a few black dots that look like they cover shaded areas or something. They a…

Looks great. Interesting to see that a lot of stations are included but without prices. Note, in brave on linux I can't see the map. Console has a lot of 401 on stadiamaps. But wor…

I happened to be looking at ski boot fitting this morning and came across a web app from fischersports that allows you to measure your feet using your phones camera. Surprise surpr…

I don't think that's true, however doordash surely know that some users might think twice if they saw that number separated out.

It hosts user uploaded content I would guess, so presumably the OSA could apply to them.

Sure, it's a different part of the product, but still worrying that it may have happened at all. Looking at it further though, you're right, this probably wasn't apple's fault.

True - how much someone is willing to pay matters. However in a competitive market, companies can’t just charge whatever people will pay. Competitors will undercut them, so prices …

Presumably the recommended daily calorie intake figures (and the calculators for these) do to some extent take this into account? i.e. I would imagine they're based on experimental…

But that's why it's so confusing. Did they purposefully leave off the reference to indicate Watts, or did they mean volts (as I'd guess audio engineers typically do when talking ab…
